poltr1Not much to vote for or against this year, being an odd-numbered year. 1 Township trustee (pick 1 of 2), 2 school board members (pick 2 of 3), and two tax levies -- one for parks, one for human services.
There was a statewide issue on the ballot, but one of the sides didn't get enough signatures, so the vote for the issue wasn't going to be counted. The issue was to approve a variance in some recently enacted legislation concerning the operation of strip clubs. Click here for more information.
I don't go to strip clubs, but I don't like the new law which prohibits patrons from getting within 6 feet of a dancer. (How would they get their tips?) Besides, the law was ram-rodded by the Cincinnati-based blue-nose group Citizens for Community Values, a group I detest because they believe their definition of morality is the only one that should matter for everyone. Feh. (FWIW, a coalition of strip club owners are now trying to get the new law overturned on grounds that it is unconstitutional. I hope they win.)
